Of course, if you are not a calendar freak, this is not the main selling point. Gcal works (and is intended to) as a diary, and appointment planner. It can also be used to determine sunset or sunshine in your local coordinates, and if you are an amateur astronomer, it can give you the twilight times. The same holds for data for the Moon, it can give you the moon phase, for instance.
